Daintree Advisors, a multi-family office and wealth management firm, empowers clients to step back and “see the forest” so that they can make thoughtful decisions for themselves and their families. Building on our extensive financial and tax planning experience, members of Daintree Divorce Consulting advise individuals going through divorce on the pros and cons of each financial decision they face and help them cost effectively move forward during one of the most emotional times of their lives.

Whether a divorcing family’s unique circumstances are best served through negotiation, litigation, mediation, or the collaborative law process, Daintree Divorce Consulting provides peace of mind by helping clients understand what their financial life will look like after divorce. We guide clients in articulating their values and goals and encourage them to be active participants in the divorce process instead of being motivated by emotions or destructive conflict.

Financial decisions made while navigating a divorce will dramatically impact the rest of their lives. We equip families in making wise financial choices as they embark on their new financial lives.

Led by a team of Certified Divorce Financial Analysts®, Daintree Divorce Consulting works closely with clients, their attorneys, and other divorce professionals in setting realistic expectations, leveling the playing field, and strategizing creative financial options that maximize resources and enhance family financial well-being.
